About this collection

Complex molecular systems provide new, fundamental problems that give rise to a need for further research. Importantly, the realization of efficient synergy between theory and experiment on complex molecular systems has become possible only recently, thanks to significant developments in technology and methodology in measurements (e.g., lasers, detectors, and optics) and computations (e.g., super computers).

Guest Editors Tahei Tahara (RIKEN), Akio Kitao (University of Tokyo), Yasuhisa Mizutani (Osaka University), Hideki Kandori (Nagoya Institute of Technology) and Masaaki Fujii (Tokyo Institute of Technology), are delighted to introduce this themed issue which brings together the most recent studies of this important and emerging field of physical chemistry and chemical physics.
